Questions about Beef stew
What cut of beef is best for beef stew?
Choose well-marbled stewing beef from the chuck or shoulder, shin or brisket. These tougher cuts soften and become flavourful during slow cooking; lean steak can turn dry and firm.
How long should you cook beef stew?
Brown the beef first, then cover and simmer gently on the hob for about 2–3 hours, or cook in a covered casserole at 160 °C for around 2½–3 hours. It is ready when the meat yields easily to a fork.
How do you thicken beef stew?
For a smooth finish, stir a spoonful of plain flour into a little cold water, then mix it into the simmering stew and cook for 5–10 minutes. You can also mash a few of the cooked potatoes into the gravy.
How long does beef stew keep in the fridge?
Cool it promptly, transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate within 2 hours; eat it within 3 days. Reheat only the portion you need until it is steaming hot throughout.
Can you freeze beef stew?
Yes. Cool it, pack it in meal-sized airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost it in the fridge overnight, then reheat until steaming hot, stirring so it warms evenly.
What do you serve with beef stew?
Creamy mashed potatoes, crusty bread or suet dumplings are classic choices for soaking up the gravy. For a lighter side, serve it with steamed green beans or cabbage.
How much beef stew is a typical serving?
A typical serving is about 196 g, roughly a medium bowl. That portion contains 194 kcal.
